Stir It Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't sit here while I go nowhere
Chase my dreams through the polluted air
Walking on a wire
Running out of time
There's no room in this ol' heart of mine
Bill collectors waiting down the hall
Neighbors scream and crack the bedroom wall
Nerves jump off the pavement
Passion hits the street
Angels cookin' in the city heat
World's too crazy, I can't take no more
I won't stay here locked behind the door
Baby, stir it up
Got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow
Ooh, I can't wait to
Stir it, got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow
I'm not gonna take it anymore, mmm, mmm
Hungry minds do stare you in the eyes
Spread it thick and lay the biggest lies
Don't say what you feel
Must play hard to get
All those time bombs tickin' in your head
So much pressure to keep holdin' on
Pack my clothes up, baby, I'll be gone
I've got to stir it up
Got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow
Ooh, I can't wait to
Stir it
Got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow
I'm not gonna take it anymore, mmm, mmm
Can't find love because it's trapped inside
Can't find freedom flirting with the line
Make some room in this ol' heart of mine
So much pressure to keep holdin' on
Pack my clothes up, baby, I'll be gone
Stir it up
I've got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow
I can't wait to
Stir it
Got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow
I don't wanna take it anymore
Got to break it up now
When I think about tomorrow
I can't wait to
Stir it
Got to shake it up now
If I have to beg or borrow
I don't wanna take it anymore
